Was excited to get this beautiful white knife set. Looks great and felt strong in your hand. Unfortunately the honeymoon ended too quickly. 
     After  a month the pairing knife tip bent. Customer service was glad to send me a replacement. After 5 weeks it didn't show up when they told me it would be 1-2 weeks to receive. Called to find out why and told me it was discontinued and offered me a black and silver replacement that didn't even look like a pairing knife.
     One would think with a lifetime warranty, you could get a replacement in the first 6 months. Buyer beware and check your options before getting a Cuisinart knife set!!
